    Hi,

    I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures. I got quite a few ideas from previous builders, so it's nice to pass these on and add in a few tweaks of my own. 

    Cheers,

    Dan

    Hi Dan,

    Indeed, for example I brazenly copied the design of your floors, that a great idea cheaper and more comfortable than the original mesh. And retrospectively inverting the desckstringers inside would have spare me a lot of time glassing, fairing and painting, for a more robust result.

    By the way, I visited with family Wales a couple of years ago, I remembered wandering around Borth and Dyfi and by chance in a boatyard close to the estuary I saw a impressive classic Wharram (a Narai?). First and only time I have observed such a large unit. It made my day! Tough all the journey in Wales was a pleasure.
